Polishes With A Cause

These pretty pink shades are as philanthropic as they are appealing. Picking up one (or all) of them benefits City of Hope, a cancer treatment center that offers long-term medical care to breast cancer patients.

The name of this vivid polish hue says it all: "T.I.T.S." (Testing Is The Solution). 20% of proceeds from this bright pink shade are donated to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer, a charitable iniative of the CFDA that raises awareness and funds for breast cancer.
